Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for April 19, 2023

indeed

Too right. I miss working out in the weight room and having sore muscles the next day. I really miss working.

Oh, for a keg of beer and a Saturday night!

If you can even remember your youth, I guess it’s a plus, Aunty.

Back then, sore muscles; now sprained muscles. Back then, paid holiday and vacation days, and relaxation; now, unpaid Honey-do days.

I consider myself to be in great physical shape.

My wife and I were at a restaurant the other day. As we sat there, a little girl about 5 years old and a woman, who I presume was her mother were heading towards the ladies’ room. The girl was skipping. She must have launched herself into the air about a quarter of her body length with each stride.

I am now going to caveat my original sentence with, “for a man of my age.”

Quite true.

I miss my wife who passed Mar 21. Married Feb 1968. I miss nothing else about youth days.

Oh great, just what we need, an even more hormonal Aunty than she is now, with pimples no less.

Yep.

I believe you mean dental work. I agree 100%!

NOT!

While many complain about work and a job, it does often give them a sense of purpose.

Mine has been replaced with the problems of old age.

my youth can keep its problems, thanks…
